I am looking at my task manager and there are 12 processes labled as "svchost.exe". 8 of them are designated as system processes. 2 of them are listed as Network Service. 2 of them are listed as local service.
I am not completely sure what this process actually does. I know that this is a critical proces that deals with DLL files. But does this really need to take up exactly 20% of my running processes.

You probably have an unusually large number of items that autostart when your computer starts up. Svchost.exe is used by a number of process within Windows. If you want to have a look at the underlying processes, snag a copy of Process Explorer by Sysinternals. They're owned by Microsoft now. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx
Their utilities are some of the best in the biz. Probably why MS bought them up.
